I started designing graphics as a hobby when I was a teenager. Near the beginning, this included skins (web templates) for forum software including Invision, vBulletin and phpBB, and eventually led to the development of full templates for websites. I used Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and coded in HTML, CSS, PHP and JS.

My skins proved popular and led to my promotion as design staff on the now-defunct IFSkinZone which had thousands of active daily users, and later, full-time employment as a designer at various companies as detailed in my CV.

Due to the upkeep needed for skins, particularly those for software like forums which are constantly updated, I no longer actively develop these, but to prevent these being lost forever, I have provided the last updates I have for these as a downloadable package that you can access by submitting your email at the form below. You are free to use, update/convert, and/or redistribute these, only non-commercially and including attribution to me; full terms at http://connorhawke.com/readme.

The downloadable package also includes, as a bonus, a few mods (hooks/plugins) I coded, although as with the skins, these will most likely not function properly on the latest editions of the software these were coded for. As a result, I no longer provide support for these products, but thorough instructions are included for the versions they were designed for.

Keywords based on continuous rebranding and occasional affiliation during those years: kman, ifsz, bgstyles, nbsdesignz, kskins, cskins, vyper, etcher, kil.me, xr3x. These products are now simply branded under my legal name.

Screenshots of the skins and mods are included below. Right-click (on desktop) or long-tap (on mobile) for a full-size view option.
